Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Tried to modify the Makefile (KSP :=) to point it directly to the kernel source with no luck. (kernel source is at /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9/ live kernel is /usr/src/linux)

There are no other NICs on this laptop

At this point, I'm out of ideas and have no idea where to get or how to make the 'Module.symvers' file or if it even matters since the script continues. However it does halt on the CFLAGS message. I have no idea where to modify CFLAGS in Makefile.

Makefile (unmodified, provided by Intel with the driver):
